Bomb attacks on markets in predominantly Shiite neighbourhoods of Baghdad killed at least 16 people, among 38 Iraqis killed or found dead across Iraq today in the latest outbreak of sectarian violence.
Seven of those were killed when a car bomb detonated outside shops in northern Baghdad’s Qahira district as shoppers were gathering, said police Lt. Ali Muhsin. He said 27 others were injured and seven cars destroyed.
